I know I may be wishing
 
 On a world
 
 That may never be
 
 But I'll keep on wishing 
 
  
  No matter how hopeless
 
 Or foolish
 
 It may seem
 
 I'll keep on wishing 
  
 
 I'll toss my coins in the fountain
 
 Look for clovers in grassy lawns
 
 Search for shooting stars in the night
 
 Cross my fingers and dream on 
  
 
 I know I may be dreaming
 
 Of a world
 
 Far from present day reality
 
 But I'll keep on dreaming 
  
 
 No matter how unrealistic
 
 Or naive
 
 It may seem 
 
 Always keep dreaming 
  
 
 And toss your coins in the fountain
 
 Look for clovers in grassy lawns
 
 Search for shooting stars in the night
 
 Cross your fingers and dream on 
  
 
 We must always be thinking
 
 Of a world
 
 As a place of infinite possibilities
 
 And always keep thinking 
  
 
 No matter how hopeless
 
 Or foolish
 
 It may seem
 
 Always keep thinking 
  
 
 And toss our coins in the fountain
 
 Look for clovers in grassy lawns
 
 Search for shooting stars in the night
 
 Cross our fingers and dream on
  
 
 I'll keep on wishing
 
 We must always keep dreaming
 
 Of a world
 
 With equality and justice
 
 Thinking
 
 There could be a world
 
 Without poverty and sickness
 
 Wishing
 
 Of a world
 
 Without hunger and homelessness
 
 Dreaming
 
 Of a world
 
 Where all people live in peace
 
 Dreaming
 
 Of a world
 
 Dreaming
 
 On a world
